This blog is a humble contribution towards increasing awareness about problems being faced wrt Tiger Conservation in India. With the Tiger fast disappearing from the radar and most of us looking the other way the day is not far when the eco system that supports and nourishes us collapses. Citizen voice is an important tool that can prevent the disaster from happening and this is an attempt at channelising the voice of concerned nature lovers.

Maha Minister apologises to prty brass, seems to have gotten away
Media reports yesterday cited Maharashtra Agriculture Minister having met wtih Minister MOEF Jairam Ramesh and apologised to him for having entered a tiger cage and harassinga cub. The change of heart apparently came after scathing criticism of his actions by the civit society and more importantly after a investigation intot he incident was ordered by the central minster himself. Wildlife laws are strict though implementation has always been very lax. Poachers and mafia are rarely brought to book in our country, petting a tiger cub that too by a ruling party minister seems like a minor misdemeanor.
